Free SaaS Tool for Email Management?

[randal18]

I have developed a local tool that facilitates the sending of bulk marketing emails utilizing AWS SES APIs and SMTP. The tool sources email lists from a CSV file. I need to incorporate an unsubscribe button at the bottom of the emails.

I am seeking a software-as-a-service (SaaS) solution that can effectively manage my email lists and address unsubscribe requests.- Provide an API to retrieve the updated list (excluding unsubscribes) rather than relying on a CSV file. While I can construct this functionality independently, I prefer not to host a singular endpoint solely for the unsubscribe component. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

I really appreciate any help you can provide.

In my view, email constitutes the fundamental component of virtually every online business. It represents one of the few areas where cost-effective solutions should not be prioritized over quality.
